Grapes, Daisies, and Georg Jensen on Sale

I really like silver and I really like Denmark, so Georg Jensen is a given.

My husband recently went on a biking holiday around DK with his brother and cousins, and he returned with some pretty, beribboned gray boxes for our girls and me. (Our son got Lego and he may have been even more thrilled.)

For labor day, Georg Jensen is running a promotion - 10% off their jewelry and watch collections and 20% off their home collections (excluding silver and seasonal). The sale started yesterday and ends Wednesday, September 5th. It is only available in the US and only online. Georg Jensen offers free UPS shipping, and returns must be made within 14 days.

My two favorite jewelry collections right now are Moonlight Grapes (inspired by original Georg Jensen design from the 1920s) and Daisy. The Daisy collection began in 1940, when a new princess (now Queen Margrethe II) was born. The country was, of course, in the midst of war and the daisy was seen as a symbol of hope.

I'm a displaced Southerner, mom to three beautiful babies, married to a very kind, easily distractable, brilliant businessman of a husband. I like: sunshine, coffee, cute shoes, expensive handbags, inexpensive jewelry, European cities, travel in Asia, doing laundry, eating out, fashion magazines, interior design, LK Bennett and J Crew, kate, Lilly, and Tory, Hermes scarves, and trying to figure out what is going on in the world of politics. I don't like: people who are mean or get in my way when I am shopping.
